Hey so I started FRAPsing some footage in the hopes of making some videos. I have run into a major graphical issue one I opened up the video to view it, also the screenshots taken via FRAPs turned out... well like shit.




Proc: E8200 @ 2.66Ghz
Memory: 4 gigs (can't remember speed etc)
Video: 2x 8800 GT 512mb in SLi
OS: 32bit Vista

anyone that can help me trouble shoot my problems it would be awesome.

Thanks,

Well I went and got Snag-it 9.0 and while it seems to take video just fine, it seems to have a flashing effect to the overall video. I am guessing this is due to the blinking nature of the way snagit functions. I'm not sure tho.

If any of you are into video capture and can reccomend some good software to use and how to use it properly I'd be thankful.

fraps works for me
E6850 @ 3.00Ghz
4 gigs Ram
1 XFX 8800GT
64bit vista

did you try different capturing at different resolutions/playing at different resolution.

1680x1050 im guessing you have a widescreen monitor?

Ive only tried capturing at 1280x1024.

Not sure what resolution I was trying to capture in, but I would guess it was at 1680x 1050 yes.

no I ahvent tried it in a lower res. I wouldn't have thought I would have needed to to be honest.

So no one has any ideas or suggestions on wtf is wrong?

If I was to make a guess here I would theorize it's your
SLI setup that's causing it. Or Vista in general . . lol
Though chaulootz seems to be running it on Vista. Albeit
on the 64-bit version. Though he is running on a single
gfx board.

What version of Fraps are you running ? I think 2.9.4 is
the latest release.

Would be curious to hear if anyone is running Fraps without issue using SLI under 32-Bit Vista.

I'm running 2.9.4 FRAPs

I was also assuming that it is either the SLi or Vista itself, just not sure which.

I dont really know what to look for to try to trouble shoot the issue either.

does it happen in with other games also?

lol honestly I haven't tried it with any other games.
Also I dont ahve any othe games installed on this puter atm.

I do know that if I have the user account manager activated and I try to install/run a program it looks like that also when the premission prompt window comes up.

I suppose my next step would be to disable SLI mode via the drivers and see what Fraps does with it.

Nope I got it figured out.

My chipset drivers were corrupted. So reinstalled those and got the new video drivers, seems to have taken care of the problem so far.

Won't know 100% until WAR servers come back up so I can try to FRAPs some footage again.

Thanks for trouble shooting with me.

Rerunning 3D Mark now
